Generalize/unify all the integral types #316

Closed dplassgit closed 9 months ago

dplassgit commented 9 months ago

From Issue #235:

Note, there are a LOT of places that would have to be updated (see https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Adplassgit%2Fd2lang+VarType.BYTE&type=code for all the places BYTE is used):

Lexer
VarType
StaticChecker
Interpreter
PrintFormats
various optimizers
ConstantOperand
NasmCodeGenerator, IntRegister, probably Resolver

This might be a good opportunity to generalize the 4 integral types (BYTE, SHORT, INT, LONG) instead of having so many if/else.
